Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:I love that Recon has a non sniper rifle from the get go as well. Got several good C4 kills last night after being able to take out a couple of guys guarding a tank. Never would have happened with bolt action/pistol. Been a while since I started BF3, but I believe the snipers started with the Mk11 and SVD, which are both more of a close/medium range rifle. Most of the semis in BF3 are disturbingly good with an acog/red dot and used on the offensive. Most pubbies don't get this as they only know about using 12x m98s from five feet away.

Bohemian Nights posted:These knifing sprees are terrifying. Are there different animations for the various knives? Maybe? I haven't noticed anything, but I've been using the machete mostly. And if you want to go on a knifing spree, find a big TDM of Lancang Dam and use the north, west and south boundaries as lanes of movement. You can catch unaware pubbies sniping or sitting in the spawn pocket and just go nuts.

TubeStank posted:How the admins / members were camping in spawn was hilarious. No poo poo you can't capture and hold any points when you've got 5+ people doing literally gently caress-all. Banning half the other team will help you win, though! The best was the rear end in a top hat kicking people dropped 'You should PTFO or GTFO.' After they'd spent the previous 2-3 rounds uncap lurking with AA and tanks. They loved getting called on that one.

Bohemian Nights posted:I've had a day off, so I've spent a couple of hours looking through and sorting some of my game footage. I'll probably make a proper video at some point, but for now, have another one of me horsing around in a scout chopper on an empty server, when I notice something I've somehow never seen before. I just want you to know that I am envious of your flying abilities. Jerk. And you'd never see Kharg/Karkand/Seine as favorite maps. It was waaay too easy with a single dedicated squad to lock a team in their spawn with no way out on console, I can only imagine how terrible it was on PC. Metro is the same, but it at least gives the illusion that A/C aren't actually your team spawn.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:There is no reason to use passive missles or heatseekers once you have active missles unlocked on the stealth jet, right? I'm not missing anything from the symthic site am I? Eh? I thought the passives may have done more damage, but you can actually get more service out of a passive radar missile if you can reacquire a lock on after they pop flares or you target something else if they pop ECM. PRs keep going until they hit something or vanish.

Delicious Meat posted:Man, gently caress "Express Train". Didn't register Metro kills and I couldn't get enough assists after playing a 1500 ticket Conquest match. At least the other weapons aren't impossible to unlock. Shotgun, no slugs, engage at long range. Hitmarkers will come flowing in, especially if you start firing frags around corners. No not use undermounted FBs as they are hosed for giving assists. Also, throw incendiaries/FBs.

My only grump about the UCAV is that the airburst working on helos is kind of sensitive. I keep popping them right against their skin and not getting anything for it. AA mines are going to be worth the dead slot just so I can make pubbies poo poo themselves in fury. I've seen enough bitching about MAAs in their spawn while we have most of the cap points because they can't fly past the one point in range of the MAA. Being able to poop these things forward of the MAA and knock helos out of the air is going to be amazing.

fknlo posted:The general consensus is it's a dmr that you'll be able to put higher power scopes on. Why you'd want that is beyond me, but apparently people have been asking for that. It's because your average roof sniper is a bad shot and they think that putting a high mag scope on a DMR will make them better. It won't, as most DMRs kick like a mule when you start pulling the trigger like some stranger's dick. But they don't care because Killdeer.

Samuel posted:You think somebody will ever do a paper on the mental capacity for players to complete objectives and do problem solving? I mean we all wondered at some point why people are so drat stupid in videogames, even though I don't remember having this problem in Enemy Territory. My opinion is that they're some combination of young, high or drunk. As much as people enjoy doing it, alcohol and other substances directly impact your thought process when it comes to risk analysis and behavior patterns while under their effects. Also, gently caress goon daos.

Kibayasu posted:I suppose since I never used it before the nerf I'll never quite know that high. Still, it's incredibly useful, especially for blowing up roof snipers, and is basically never leaving my support at this point; I'd even switch out the ammo box before it. The snipers who camp the flat building between B and D on Siege of Shanghai never see it coming and I've gotten a huge amount of multi-kills on snipers and DMR users on top of Hainan. Pretty much how I am with the UCAV. Got tanks on the map that are being a pain? Ammo box to C4. That UCAV stays on just to piss off the tankers with mobility kills and random coup de grace. This thread as also made me want the AA mine so bad. So many god damned tears from something that will most likely not show up that often. Pubbie engies will have to choose from between torches, slams and rockets as to what to give up.

Dillbag posted:Me too. Let me know if you don't get to this until the weekend because I want in on the UCAV party. I need the SUAV too. SUAV is much easier to get than the UCAV and works as a stand in for it in a pinch. If you're willing to take the time, the SUAV is better at picking off roof wookies on at a time and is much easier to control with a longer flight time. So it is the sniper shot to the UCAV's artillery round.

Every missile will either not do enough damage, knock them down enough that some pubbie will take the kill or disable them and crash them into the ground. If you can get on them and use your guns, you will take them down surprisingly fast. EDIT: Holy poo poo, that DAO guy. Everyone of his top guns is a broken one. Hahahahahahaha.

Oh hey, the Flood Zone discussion is back. Honestly, most people probably hate that map because it is a properly done vertical infantry map. Instead of having two or three areas where idiots aggregate and you can just bomb with something, Flood Zone is extremely hard to judge where most people are in relation to you. TL;DR: Flood Zone is hated because it's the least linear map in the lot.
